I haven't done it in a while but what we like is sourdough pizza done in a smoker. I got a heavy offset smoker ,[ Patio Queen] that I built outta HEAVY scrap iron . and crank it up to about 425-450 deg. Delicious.. Worst thing about it is my grand daughter threw ouy my sourdough starter...
Smokin meat has always gone against all the little bit of common sense I got.. When U get it done, it looks like a really bad mistake.. It looks
[at least mine does] like it got caught in a forest fire. BURNT TO A CRISP... Even a high dollar cut of beef.. LOOKS Like me..ruint..

Squirrel, All jokes aside, I finally found one of them old style ''Texas inerta nut crackers'' That really works! [the newer ones are made of PVC pipe

As Chadpole stated, burn the green wood and add the coals to the cookin fire. When we were kids and had a pig pickin we would have a big piece of metal to burn the wood on and feed the cooker with a flat shovel. I think it was mainly to avoid buying alla that charcoal.
I have gotten by in a pinch with useing charcoal to do the grunt of the cookin and adding just a
few slivers from time to time of green oak for taste. Just a judgement call. at worst it will give a bit of bitter taste . If I am out of seasoned wood I just use charcoal. Hemi.
Hate to keep at it but if the dampeners on the smokestacks are pretty good, you shut off the one on the reverse flow cooking chamber the smoke and MOST of the heat will HAVE to go thru the verticle chamber and vice versa. Just like you and me. follows the path of least resistance.
